Boost Your Toddler's Brain Development

October 16, 2014
As a parent we are always wondering - what can we do to help our child?  We are told that 85% of brain growth occurs during the first 3 years of life and that this is a is critical time for brain synapses to form.   Knowing this can put any parent into a panic mode.  Luckily there are some things that you can do and our friends at Happy Family have developed some products to help.

For the healthiest development of these brain synapses, a growing brain is dependent on loving, secure and responsive nurturing, hearing rich language, opportunities for movement and lots playful exploration of the world. A still maturing brain also is extremely reliant on exceptionally good nutrition.  Happy Family has developed two exciting ways you can contribute to this healthy growth -  the new Happy Tot Grow & Shine Organic Toddler Milk and the Toddler Activity Book. 

Happy Tot Grow & Shine Organic Toddler Milk is formulated to support your toddler during this vital time in his or her life with organic non-GMO ingredients and specific nutritiion for continued development.  

The accompanying Toddler Activity Book helps parents think of meaningful activities they can do with their tot to encourage more synapses to form.  Here are two activities that can be found in the Toddler Activity Book:

MOVING KISSES
Give your child a kiss, and then run a short distance away. When they catch you, give them another kiss. Continue as long as they seem interested, or switch it up and let them run away!

USING YOUR SENSES
Encourage your toddler to use all their senses at the grocery store. Have them close their eyes and listen as you shake an item, or encourage them to feel produce. When you choose healthy items, tell them, “This is good for your brain.”

The Happy Tot Grow & Shine Organic Toddler Milk can be found in stores nation wide and the Toddler Activity can be downloaded from Happy Family's website. Click HERE for more information and a special offer.
